How to Generate Leads through Content Marketing – 5 Tips

February 14, 2017

What do you think about lead generation and conversion? Is it tough to generate leads for the business you/your client run?

Google is the major search engine which is powerful enough to understand the paid ways of generating leads. It may throw you out of the race by updating its algorithms or by its current algorithm. The technology giant is capable of detecting fresh, unique, and informative content among the plethora of data.

You can consider webinars an effective marketing tool for the quick lead generation, provided the presentation is attention-gaining. The knowledgeable influencers with great attributes for attracting the audience are needed to make such events successful. If the mentor is not able to deliver the real insights of the topic, it will not make any difference to your business.

Do not charge the people for the webinar and keep it short. Long webinars are beneficial when you already have a great impact on visitors. For using this lead acquisition tool effectively, you need to be a fluent and knowledgeable speaker. If you are not good enough then hire or partner up with someone who can generate leads for you.

Publish White Papers and E-books

E-books have a great number of online readers who are ready to spend some bucks on something which is useful and worth the money. Have some knowledge to spread? Publish e-books, informative e-books or white papers or case studies are great lead magnets nowadays.

With your e-books, the following intent should be fulfilled –

You are teaching or educating your potential leads about what they want to learn.

You have to show your grasp on the same subject, in which they are interested.

Particularly white papers are very popular at present. The reason is – people are craving for the information, figures, facts and useful data which can help them grow. The thing to remember is, always make the whitepapers as well as e-books actionable. You can apply the upselling method on these products to increase your chances.

Broadcast Your Podcasts

There are many people, including me, who love hearing podcasts. Podcasts are another way of getting valuable customers. You can tell your audience about your future moves, past experiences which can benefit them. Spreading knowledge is always beneficial for you in the business as it acts as a great lead magnet.

Never do it straight-forward. Even you can’t hear someone bragging for 20 minutes in the plain sales pitch, right?

Plan it around your audience’s business and prevent direct marketing tactics to take over the podcast you are delivering. Keep your podcast interesting, knowledge-filled and lead generating so that it can act as a good deal for both parties.

Send links to your subscribers and use your contacts to share your podcast to their groups and it’ll work. You can ask the people to subscribe to your website or buy some product or use your service without actually letting them know about marketing.

Public Events, Get together and Contests

The most influential way of grabbing people’s brain is to meet them face to face. That’s my personal favorite as it always yields the best results. The attendees, who will be the part of that get-together or public event, are actually the target audience. When you are interacting with the target audience directly and they are already interested in the product/service you are trying to sell, probability of making the purchases are highest.

By hosting contests, surveys, real-life events, and other competitions online, you can also capture the leads. Everyone likes free stuff, and that’s where the trick happens.

Provide the content for free when your target completes the survey or win contests. As they have earned it after some efforts, the attention being paid will be likely more than usual. Add the actionable elements whereas there is a scope and you’ll surely succeed in generating leads from there.

Use Videos and Visual Content

Articles and blogs, along with other methods of lead generation are great but do it works well for everyone?

The human brain is made to work mostly with the visual content and that’s what can help you right now. Put valuable videos on YouTube, create infographics, make good pictures and add Call to Action (CTA) with them. Studies say that video content is the most powerful among all where infographics also have decent value.

Not only in your networks, try putting all those contents on multiple relevant websites and encourage readers to share your content. Videos get the most number of shares than other forms of content. Viewers take more interest in them as these are interactive and hence, act as the most suitable medium for awareness sharing.

There’s another trick to make this method even promising. Make an amazing trailer of the content which you actually want to share and let people view only the highlights (enough to tempt them). Now ask them to perform some action as subscribing you or leaving mail addresses if they want the complete video. It works so perfectly that lead generation will become an easy task for you.

I did my research because I know a lot of SEO companies exist and wanted to choose the right one for me. Wisdek's reviews on BBB were good and they explained themselves quite well in my opinion. I approached them for a website design and online marketing program. They took the time to understand everything that I wanted to include in my website and made recommendations even before I signed with them to ensure everything was user friendly and also stayed within Google's guidelines. Next, they treated me with respect and advised us of how long it would take to get ourselves noticed online. All reports are delivered on time and everything is explained to us monthly. Due to their efforts I have been able to gain more clients and people to my website so If you are looking for a company that will simplify the Website and online marketing process to you and show you realistic results at a good price, Wisdek is the way to go.

We started working with Wisdek in June of 2016. We have approached them with an idea that shortly became our core business. They developed our website within one month. We were very happy with the process and communications. We just opened our store location and Wisdek's technicians helped us set up email, hosting and Google maps. We are very excited to start our search engine optimization campaign and grow our business nationwide.

I’ve been with Wisdek for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with their service. What was promised, was delivered. About 3 months after I started I began to enjoy good rankings across Google, Yahoo and Bing. Also, the cost was not unreasonable! Wisdek’s service delivers more leads than posting an add in an old fashioned printed directory and is more affordable than print listings were 5 years ago!
Today I have expanded my services with Wisdek from my beginnings in SEO, to PPC and Content Network Advertising. The return on investment has been incredible. I truly believe Wisdek offers their clients cutting edge marketing services and puts businesses where people are searching. I would like to recommend Wisdek to anyone who needs consistent leads for their business.

Northgate Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre in Calgary has used Web based advertising and marketing since 2004. As a result of continual investment and effort, our web site always came up first in local searches. The payoff came 3 years ago when people really began to use search as a way of finding our services. Last fall, our internet traffic slowed considerably and we noted that our search listing had dropped from first on page one to the middle of page four, literally making us disappear.
One of our service providers, Eran Hurvitz of Wisdek, explained to us that Google had changed their rules for search and were imposing a penalty on our web site for having back links. (The very thing they promoted previously as improving our web site standing). This penalty resulted in our listing being dropped to page four. There were thousands of these links and it looked like a significant job to remove these links. Eran offered the services of Wisdek to clean up these links and petition Google to remove this penalty. It was initially estimated to take 3 to 6 months to complete this task. To our great pleasure, Wisdek achieved the penalty removal in just over one month. We are now back on top for our local area and are very pleased with Wisdek’s service.
I would strongly recommend Wisdek and for web based service.

Our Firearm Safety Training business did not exist before we started working with Business Media and Wisdek. Business Media built us a beautiful SEO-Ready website from scratch that is now pulling in leads left right and center. Wisdek applied their most affordable SEO package for local coverage, and it was so effective that we started to rank all across the PROVINCE!
Business is so good that the phones are now ringing daily. We are happy to report that we will be opening a second location as well as a massive firing range in the next few months to capitalize on the overflow. We are actually going to upgrade our campaign with Wisdek to push our business even harder!!
